Solution: start bitcoin-qt with the -rescan flag.
How to do it depends on your OS, but you didn't say which one you're using.

I'm using OSX, it's inconvenient, but doable.

Takes a while to rescan, huh? Not done yet, but that's got to be it (EDIT: done, worked perfectly). Thanks for the help.

I'm not exactly sure of it, but I could almost swear inserting rescan=1 in the bitcoin.conf file and starting bitcoin-qt normally would also work.
Must try it. That way I'll be sure and won't forget about it again.

It seems the easiest way on OSX is:

Code:

/path/to/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt --args

I sent bitcoins to one of my addresses earlier. According to blockchain.info, it's got a positive balance and my one transaction with almost 90 confirmations. When I load that wallet in Bitcoin-Qt, it shows a balance of 0.00, fully synced. Under transactions, it shows no transactions. Why is this happening?

EDIT: To clarify, I partially followed this guide: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_set_up_a_secure_offline_savings_wallet

I went offline, generated my new wallet, quit Bitcoin-Qt, encrypted the wallet.dat with a third party AES program, and srm'd the original wallet.dat. I know it's not as secure, but for the small amount of funds I planned to have in it, the extra steps weren't worth it. I unencrypted it and got my wallet.dat file, quit Bitcoin-qt, and loaded the wallet, and now I'm here.
